Excerpt from Easy Mathematics, Vol. 1: Or Arithmetic and Algebra for General Readers; Being an Elementary Treatise Addressed to Teachers, Parents, Self-Taught Students, and Adults
"The parent inherits a primal tendency to revert to the fixed and rooted form, while the child is 'free-swimming'; it is the natural explorer. And for ages we the parents through the teachers have been more and more successfully trying to train and educate our 'free-swimmers' into fixed and rooted prisoners; thus atrophising or mutilating their discovering and interpretative powers just as our own were injured at the same age." Lady Welby.
"There are several chapters in most arithmetic books that are wholly unnecessary... but a writer of a school-book for elementary schools is not his own master; he must comply with the often unwise demand of teachers and examiners." A. Sonnenschein.
